1. What We Offer You

We offer you use of the Vroom Site, so that you may compare car rental prices, and book a rental car with different suppliers and in different countries around the world.

By booking a rental car through a Vroom Site, or acquiring associated products and services, you enter into a contractual relationship with the third party with which you make a reservation or purchase a product or service (“Third Party Provider”). From the point at which you make your booking, we act as an intermediary between you and the Third Party Provider, transmitting details of your reservation to the Third Party Provider and sending you a confirmation email for and on behalf of the Third Party Provider.

When you use the Vroom Site, you will also be interacting with websites, products and services that are made available by Third Party Providers. You agree and acknowledge that we do not control, vet or curate Third Party Provider websites or content, and that Third Party Provider websites or content do not form part of the Vroom Site. We do not endorse any of the Third Party Providers whose products or services are displayed on or via the Vroom Site.

The commercial relationships Vroom has with Third Party Providers, including the payment of remuneration, the type of remuneration paid, the basis on which commission is paid and the variance in commission per sale, does not affect the display of car hire search results on the Vroom Site.
